XB-70 Valkyrie

XB-70 Valkyrie - Wikipédia: "O North American XB-70 'Valkyrie' foi concebido para o Comando Aéreo Estratégico da Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos, na década de 1950, como um bombardeiro nuclear de alta altitude, com velocidade de cruzeiro de três vezes a do som (Mach 3). O custo proposto da aeronave, juntamente com mudanças tecnológicas, levaram ao cancelamento do programa. Embora a proposta de um frota de bombardeiros nunca fosse concluída, dois protótipos voaram na década de 1960, realizando pesquisas para o projeto de aeronaves supersônicas de grande porte. Um dos protótipos foi destruído em 1966 após uma colisão no ar e o outro está exposto no Museu Nacional da Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos."

Wearable Mouse Concept From Microsoft : A Techno-wonder In Our Hands - Gizmo Watch

Wearable Mouse Concept From Microsoft : A Techno-wonder In Our Hands - Gizmo Watch: "The sheer speed with which technology is moving ahead makes it hard for us to keep abreast with all the new inventions that take place everyday. Making life better and easier is the only way to explain such efforts and this concept right here is no exception to this assumption. The repetitive exercise of moving your hand to and fro to type on the keyboard and then scroll the cursor can get really irritating for some Fortunately, now Microsoft has a remedy for this. This wearable mouse concept from Microsoft enables you to wear the mouse over your hand and scroll the cursor by making a fist, while the left and right click can be activated with your thumb. Apparently, it uses the same technology as Wiimote and works on the gyroscopic principle. Only time will tell how soon this concept catches up but once it does, I am excited to see what replaces this one, I mean what could be more convenient than this?"

Tractor Across Space In The 3D Spacetractor Concept - Gizmo Watch

Tractor Across Space In The 3D Spacetractor Concept - Gizmo Watch: "Realism is reaching new heights with designers using 3D imaging to create life-like concepts, all on the computer. The Spacetractor too is a 3D concept by a designer who calls himself Exor. What is amazing is the entire design has been modelled digitally with Cinema 4D and the rendering has been done with the Finalrender software. Coming to the Spacetractor, it looks more like a futuristic locomotive, but one that rides on thin air, with jet engines underneath it. This means that the driver will actually sit on the jet engines as the Spacetractor motors across space. A butch front grille with stacked headlamps and lots of tubing all around makes the Spacetractor one very mean looking toughie. The Spacetractor even has rust marks on it’s tough metal body making it look very real. Though it is just a 3D concept with absolutely no news of it geting into the prototype stage, we give it a perfect ten for designer Exor’s very realistic rendering which almost brings this Spacetractor to life."

Slava Groshev

Imagens & Letras: "Falar de artistas contemporâneos é difícil, pois a comparação com pintores consagrados é imediata, o que torna a avaliação mais cruel. No entanto, alguns bons pintores tem surgido. Slava Groshev é um exemplo, este pintor russo (40), formado em desenho e pintura, já tem quadros em coleções particulares pelo mundo afora. A obra de Slava pode confundir os olhares, a comparação com arte digital é inevitável, mas não se deixe enganar, o processo é à moda antiga, ou seja, pincel, tinta e talento. Slava Groshev morou e desenvolveu sua arte no Canadá."

Sunview PMP: A Projector For Your Pocket - Gizmo Watch

Sunview PMP: A Projector For Your Pocket - Gizmo Watch: "Pico projectors in the recent past were cool concepts that we all hoped to have one day, and projector technology has caught up faster than our wildest dreams and here is a Pico Projector that has already made it into a PMP player. The Sunview PMP has a pico projector which can project full movies onto a wall or any other flat surface. The PMP’s pico projector will project a VGA movie with a screen size of 53 inches. Coming to the Sunview PMP, it comes with full multimedia capabilities and runs on the Windows CE 5.0 core and this essentially means that it can also be used for your office presentations. You even have a built in loudspeaker and this PMP runs on a rechargeable battery and comes with expandable memory via its MicroSD slot. Though this is very early, if not a rudimentary pico projector that works at a luminousity of just 9 lux, in the future, we can definitely see more of such pico projectors that would have evolved into higher quality devices.

Papyrus E-book Concept Gives Students What They Like - Gizmo Watch

Papyrus E-book Concept Gives Students What They Like - Gizmo Watch: "Papyrus e-book concept is a revolutionary thought, aiming to introduce technology into the classrooms in a never before seen way. It is envisioned as a digital replacement for textbooks and notebooks. It is a ‘catalyst for discussion about improving the classroom experience for everybody involved.’ Papyrus e-book is radical solution that seeks to make use of students’ ever-growing familiarity with networking-sites’ environment and incorporate it in their classrooms. In its form and specs, Papyrus e-book reader emulates a normal tablet PC or PDA, but it strips down a number of features to make the device more accessible to students. The designer believes that the device could be made for as less as 100 dollars, which would make it more convenient for the target users. Papyrus e-book is proposed with a battery life of around 30 hours since it employs an E-Ink screen. The simplicity of the design and interface makes it equally suited for the students as for the faculty itself."
